Welcome to Year 2
There are 17 wonderful pupils in our class. The staff working in Year 2 are Mrs Brown and Miss Huntington. Mrs Reilly teaches the children on a Thursday afternoon.
PE
Our P.E. days are Wednesday and Friday. Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing a full P.E. kit on these days.
Home Reading
In school children will read with an adult every day. Please make sure that children have their reading books in school every day. Children should read their books every night at home and we encourage you to sign their reading record every time you do.
Times Tables
It is also very important that your child knows their times tables as they help with almost every area of maths.
Spellings
The children will be given spellings on a Monday and we will complete a spelling test on a Friday. Even though we complete lots of spelling activities during the week, the children are still encouraged to practise their spellings when they are at home.
Year 2 – What We Are Learning About
Year 2 loved reading our book at the start of the year, Man on the Moon (a day in the life of Bob). They enjoyed learning about different planets and what Bob did on the moon. Year 2 produced some fabulous artwork linked to our book. For example, they painted their own planets using water colours and designed their own rocket ships using oil pastels. They also designed their own aliens and wrote some short descriptions about them. I was very impressed!
Children in Year 2 will be enjoying a varied curriculum throughout the year. They will be working from a variety of novels and texts in English. In Numeracy, the children will complete lots of work in topics such as place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division and fractions. They will cover all areas using images and concrete materials to help understand difficult concepts. In the afternoon we will explore a range of interesting topics including the Great Fire of London in History, uses of every day materials in Science and developing locational knowledge in Geography. Please take a look at the Year 2 curriculum map for more detail about what topics we are covering throughout the year.
